Wall progress

The wall forms are filling in, and now most of the house -- everything west of and including the laundry/mechanicals room pushout -- has both front and back wall forms for the supporting concrete walls (the ones built into the hill).

Looking from the middle of the house toward the west.

The laundry/mechanicals room pushout.

The space between the wall and the hill will be backfilled with dirt.
That's a lot of dirt!

Concrete will fill the space between the forms and become our wall.
That's a lot of concrete! 

The wall is just a bit thicker than this spray paint can is tall.
(The can was only for reference; it's gone now.)

This eastern wall will be under the deck from the great room.
The area marked by rebar, heading off  to the right, will be our exterior storage.

A great tool for managing the crazy thick mud path down to the excavation.

On a side note: This project has been excellent for the directionally impaired side of me. At least in this one spot in the world (even with no ocean or highway in sight!), I know exactly where north, south, east and west are. That's personal progress!
